Business for Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty has been booming as of late. In January, AfroTech previously shared that the lingerie brand raised $125 million in a Series C funding round — bringing its total venture capital funding to $310 million.

The listing could go into effect this year, but nothing has been publicly confirmed yet by...

Rihanna has officially hit billionaire status! The singer, born Robyn Fenty, didn’t just rise to the top as an entertainer, but over the past few years she’s become quite the businesswoman thanks to Fenty Beauty — the cosmetics company made to make “women everywhere (feel) included.” After launching in 2017, Fenty Beauty is now the reason that Rihanna has hit billionaire status. The 33-year-old is now worth an estimated $1.7 billion, according to Forbes. Not only does this make her the wealthiest female musician in the world, but now Rihanna is alongside Oprah Winfrey as the richest female entertainer. An estimated $1.4 billion of her fortune is all thanks to Fenty Beauty which the “Love On The Brain Singer” owns half of. The rest of her coins comes from her lingerie company, Savage x Fenty, which is worth an estimated $270 million and the remaining amount is thanks to the money she’s made as a chart-topping musician and actress. If folks haven’t considered Rihanna a mogul yet, they...
Mega-superstar Rihanna has climbed the top ranks of music, beauty, and fashion in less than a decade. Now she’s officially the owner of a billion-dollar lingerie brand. According to Forbes, her highly-successful Savage x Fenty brand has just hit another major milestone after raising its $115 million Series B funding round – bringing it to a $1 billion valuation. LVMH-backed private equity firm L Catterton reportedly had a hand in helping the brand secure this investment round for its upcoming retail and athletic wear expansion. According to a statement from Savage x Fenty, the brand saw revenue growth of over 200% last year and “increased its active VIP member base by more than 150%.” Prior to this latest funding round, Rihanna’s estimated stake in the company was worth $85 million. According to Forbes, Rihanna's ‘Savage X Fenty’ has reached $1 billion valuation in lingerie equity. It is expected to become the global lingerie market leader by 2025. pic.twitter.com/sl0CHVNmYn — Pop...
Savage X Fenty, the lingerie line curated by international pop superstar Rihanna , has just announced that it’s closed a $115 million Series B funding round. According to Marketwatch, while this funding round — which was led by private-equity firm L Catterton — will be used to get the popular brand into brick-and-mortar stores, the news comes hot on the heels of the announcement that the high-end Fenty line, which was released in partnership with LVMH, will “pause” production. This, ultimately, has a two-fold meaning for Rihanna’s business ventures. Fenty’s “pausing” is indicative of the near-demise of high-end fashion in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. In a statement, LVMH has said that it’s halting the production of the high-end line in the hopes that it can pick it up again when the availability presents itself. “Rihanna and LVMH have jointly made the decision to put on hold the ready-to-wear activity, pending better conditions,” a company spokesman said to WWD.
